This casebook is rich with political economy, economics, global perspectives, and analysis of contemporary antitrust problems in the United States and the world. Useful in a 3 or 4-credit course and as a desk book, the volume features contemporary debates about big data platforms and their antitrust accountability, algorithmic collusion, labor markets, and merger analysis in the wake of new merger guidelines. It excerpts the landmark U.S. antitrust cases, and highlights debates about the goals of antitrust, the effects of new technologies, and the phenomenon of converging and diverging jurisprudence in the competition law of different nations. It provides a clear presentation of the tools of analysis and the assumptions that may influence outcomes. The volume is unique in its probing questions that explore the line between hard competition and abuse of power.
